Tevin Coleman

School: Indiana

Position: RB

Bio: Three-year starter awarded all America honors as a junior after posting career totals of 2036 rushing yards and 15 TDs. Also added 25 receptions last year.

Positive: Well-rounded ball carrier with a balanced game. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and will pick his spots on the inside. Easily changes direction, quickly gets through the cutback lanes and possesses a burst of speed which he turns on in a single step. Smooth turning the corner, gets a lot of momentum going up the field and effectively uses all his blocks. Instinctive, finds the running lanes and works runs. Rarely brought down by the first defender and falls forward when tackled. Consistent receiver out of the backfield, extending his hands to snatch the ball from the air.

Negative: Does not display the playing speed necessary to beat defenders into the open field. Not a truly creative ballcarrier.

Analysis: Coleman was productive the past three seasons at Indiana and finished his career on a high note. He possesses the strength to carry the ball on the inside as well as the agility and quickness to turn the corner. Also a solid receiver out of the backfield, Coleman should quickly produce at the next level and in the right system should develop into a feature back.
